Project Irides - Cloud VR from Microsoft

Cloud VR from Microsoft tcloud news


Microsoft continues to develop the segment of cloud technologies, and their new research project deals with VR-devices.

Recently it became known that MS is working on Project Irides, a research project that should improve the performance of VR devices using Kawahi technology. If you do not go into details, the point is to drop some of the calculations to the cloud, improving the quality of the images, and then stream them to the device itself.

Kawahi uses predictive graphic processing that predicts player behavior and renders certain parts of the image in a higher quality based on where the player is supposed to be looking.


After testing the technology on Doom 3, it is noted that the participants were impressed and noted a significant difference in quality, delay and overall sensations when using such rendering in VR.
